INNOVATIVE LEARNING CENTER

Innovative Learning Center is a Title I public school that is part of the Dayton City school district, located in Dayton, OH with about 200 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 11 teachers, Innovative Learning Center has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The Innovative Learning Center (ILC), located at 245 Salem Ave in Dayton, Ohio, is a specialized educational facility operating under the umbrella of Dayton Public Schools. It is designed to serve students who require a non-traditional learning environment, often providing credit recovery programs and alternative educational pathways for high schoolers. The center focuses on meeting the diverse needs of students who may have struggled in a conventional classroom setting, offering a more flexible approach to help them complete their graduation requirements and succeed academically.

Beyond its focus on core curriculum and credit attainment, the ILC emphasizes a supportive environment that prioritizes student engagement and social-emotional growth. By providing smaller class sizes and personalized attention, the school aims to re-engage students who are at risk of dropping out, equipping them with the tools necessary to earn their diplomas. Its central location in Dayton allows it to function as a vital community resource, providing an essential safety net for students pursuing a path toward graduation and post-secondary success.
